If you've ever been to Turkey, you know that there are three very big problems there. Number One is the urban/rural divide - that really puts a wedge between people... Number Two is the divide between eastern and western Turkey... And Number Three is the delicate balance between the religious and the secular segments of the population. Put those things together and you have a very bad situation, a very divided people and the conditions for a large-scale confrontation between people who take opposing sides on these things.
